23 Worst Anti-Aging Skin Care Products

No. 2: Freeze 24-7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream, $125 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.6*Why: One reader says she's "not very impressed with this product," because it is "very expensive and it doesn't live up to its name." Another elaborates, "this is really an overpriced product that simply didn't deliver the results it claimed it does. I used it faithfully, and it just kind of left a residue that was difficult to apply cosmetics on top of. I don't have many lines, but this didn't do anything for them. It isn't worth the money. There are plenty of drugstore products that deliver better results [for] less cost." One woman says, "I purchased this product based on its claims … I saw little to no results with repeated use after 30 days … Don't waste your money."

GREAT info! I've used a few of the products and agree that they aren't worth the price (the Freeze 24/7 and the Dr. Brant neck cream). There are several listed that I have thought of trying but will now refrain from doing so or try a sample first. Likely though, having seen that some of the negative effects didn't occur until after several weeks of use....I may just skip them altogether rather than mess with the samples.

The only one of the aforementioned "Terrible 24" I've used is the Garnier Skin Renew â€“ and I'd have to agree with the review & average star rating. Nothing miraculous by any stretch of the imagination. Also, thankful to not find any Lumene products on this list. Recently began using a few & love them!
